To understand the diagram you will have to compare the parts numbers with those for the std. M-sport front. Then you'll see that the three part numbers above are the ones that differ from the std. M-sport package.

I've seen this diagram before and it confused me. The left intake in the diagram has a fog light cutout, but the right side does not. Then there is the Aux heating. I don't think I have it. Here is a thread I started on another forum. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...005&highlight=

But when I compared the part numbers for a 520i (which has the fog lights) and the M550d I found out that the part numbers above are different from the 520i.

I don't think you should trust too much on the displayed parts in the picture/diagram. But I understand your concern as the M550d is not marketed in the US and you can't get a refund on them if the grilles are wrong...

Aux heating is most likely only available on diesel cars (to pre heat or heat the engine quicker at low temperatures)

I thought about going this route, but I actually like fog lights. Any reason why you don't want them other than personal preference?

I think the foglights are a distraction to the intake grilles. It's the first thing I see when I see an m-sport. I rarely gets foggy enough in Houston to need the lights, so I just assume do away with them.

Hrrrm that's odd. So what do you do if you need replacement and want to buy aftermarket fogs and if it doesn't line up? Anyone confirm this?

Just buy OEM and make enough noise to get them to drop the price significantly. Or if you have time, try ordering aftermarket and verify the fitment. I haven't actually verified that they don't fit. I was just told so by the supplier. In fact, two suppliers I talked to wouldn't even sell the foggies by themselves even though they had them listed separately from the bumper on their site.

Yea. So what dealer has it for good price new to buy online? After researching it looks like the 07-09 e92/e93 msport foglights will work for the F10 msport as well.
